The U.S. Just Hit Iran Again, and Trump Is Already Promising More
Just when everyone thought the Middle East couldn't get any louder, Washington decided to send another very loud message.
Things escalated quickly around the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military unleashed another round of strikes against targets linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Pentagon says it was payback after Iranian forces tried planting naval mines in critical shipping lanes and launched missiles toward an American base in Jordan.
Donald Trump wasted zero time taking to social media to call the operation massive and issue a blunt warning: if Tehran tries to hit back, the next strike waiting in the wings will leave barely anything left of the regime. In the Oval Office, he bluntly claimed Iran's navy and air force are essentially wiped out, though that won't stop the military from delivering another smack if needed.
Tehran responded with promises of crushing blows against American forces, while crude oil shot past $94 a barrel within hours.
Global shipping lanes are now turning into the world's most expensive game of military chicken.
